Buddy - Rottweiler and Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:

GO BIG OR GO HOME! If that's your motto, then I'm your dog!
Give me a little time to adjust and I will show you I am the biggest sweetheart.
I really enjoy the company of my human friends.
I may look like a big guy, but I'll do my best to convince you I'm a lap dog!
I had so much fun meeting another dog here in the shelter.
I know I am a big sweetheart, but I sometimes forget my strength when I am so excited to go for walks. My friends say I am very responsive to training and getting better!


Despite my tough guy appearance, I tend to be sensitive to my environment and can be on the needy side.
Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my physical and mental exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
